Question [SOLVED] DOTS How to get closest entity position with Overlap sphere

Hello, we are developing a game with dots. I want to take the position of closest enemy entity around my character with using overlap sphere, in dots physics Can somebody help?

 

Yup, you can do sphere overlaps using the physics package:

Code (CSharp):

1. float3 position;
2. float radius;
3. var hits = new NativeList<DistanceHit>(100, Allocator.Temp);
4. CollisionFilter filter;
5. GetSingleton<PhysicsWorldSingleton>().OverlapSphere(position, radius, ref hits, filter);

 

And if you only want the closest, you can call OverlapSphereCustom instead and pass it a ClosestHitCollector.

 

Much thanks for your reply @scottjdaley.
Btw, i'v solved this problem using CalculateDistance collision query defined in PhysicsWorld.cs.
